Etymology

Possibly derived from Proto-Indo-European *dʰróbʰ-o-s, an o-grade form of root *dʰrebʰ- (‘thickened sediment’). Cognate with Proto-Slavic *droba (‘sediment’) and possibly related to Ancient Greek τρέφω (tréphō) (tréphō, ‘to thicken, curdle’). Or possibly from a non-Indo-European substrate.
